Balgarianovinite.com President Iliana Iotova visited a plant built entirely with Bulgarian investment in the industrial free economic zone of the city of Sumgait, 25 kilometres from the Azerbaijani capital of Baku, the presidential press secretariat reported on Monday morning. The plant for recycling of used industrial and motor oils and the production of first- and second-group base oils is the only industrial project approved by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev during his visit to Bulgaria in 2023 that has been brought to fruition.
The project, developed by a Bulgarian company active in the fields of green construction, design, and project management, is currently in the pre-commissioning testing phase. It has been designated as strategic by Aliyev and is considered high-tech and fully compliant with the requirements of the United Nations (UN) Climate Conference held in Baku in 2024.
Iotova is in Azerbaijan to address the 13th session of World Urban Forum Summit in Baku. The platform was established in 2001 by the UN in response to rapid urbanization and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change, and public policies. At Azerbaijan’s initiative, a summit involving heads of state and government will also be held.
Iotova’s delegation includes the mayor of Veliko Tarnovo and chairman of the Governing Council of the National Association of Municipalities in Bulgaria, Daniel Panov. The urban forum will run through May 22.
On Sunday, Iotova and Aliyev discussed the expansion of cooperation in the energy sector between Bulgaria and Azerbaijan.
